Shoulda
    by Tammer Saleh, Thoughtbot, Inc.
    http://thoughtbot.com/projects/shoulda

== DESCRIPTION:
  
The Shoulda gem makes it easy to write elegant, understandable, and maintainable tests. Shoulda consists of test macros, assertions, and helpers added on to the Test::Unit framework. It's fully compatible with your existing tests, and requires no retooling to use.  Should also comes with a complimentary Rails plugin, available here - http://thoughtbot.com/projects/shoulda

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
  
* wrap your tests in nested context blocks to keep them readable and dry
* write test names in english, not with_a_bunch_of_underscores
* fully compatible with your existing Test::Unit tests
* makes writing test macros simple as pie

== SYNOPSIS:

  class UserTest << Test::Unit 
    context "A User instance" do
      setup do
        @user = User.find(:first)
      end

      should "return its full name" do
        assert_equal 'John Doe', @user.full_name
      end

      context "with a profile" do
        setup do
          @user.profile = Profile.find(:first)
        end

        should "return true when sent #has_profile?" do
          assert @user.has_profile?
        end
      end
    end
  end

== REQUIREMENTS:

* Test::Unit

== INSTALL:

* sudo gem install shoulda
